As soon as I have some spare cash I'm buting another one and doing this to it. Awesome.

Absolutely brilliant, nicely follows on from "We Were Exploding Anyway".[/quote] Did you get your pre-order early, or have you been naughty? I really wish I could have afforded the pre-order, I'll pick it up when i can afford it.

The small bit of stripboard and the battery are just wedged in, a lot of pedals do that, even the very expensive ones, as long as it's done properly it shouldn't be an issue. The big bit of stripboard however is anchored in by a very visible stand off, soldering looks good as well, should be fine.

I'm currently stuck at Stockholm Syndrome, but my band's music never requires me to play sixteenths at over 120bpm continously for a good minute.[/quote] Stockholm Syndrome's what helped my right hand stamina, Map of the problematique, butterflies and hurricanes and hysteria are good for it too.

Use a pick, i've never seen a punk band with a finger player, it'll give you the tone you need aswell. If you're set on fingers, just play a lot of fast songs, play 2 or 3 everday, and eventually you'll build up your stamina

The absolute essentials for the muse sound are a grindy distortion, a gated fuzz, an octaver (perferably a boss oc-2) and a filter. These will get you most of the synth sounds hes uses, and you'll also need them individually. An important part of his sound is that everything is blended with clean bass, not sure if any multis can do that, but the ls-2 is your cheapest stompbox solution for blending.

Not sure if it was his horrible thin tinny tone, but that sounded awful. So much fret clank.

Masters of Reality's new record(s) Pine/Cross Dover Why did it take me a year to listen to this again? Awesome stuff

I really like it.[/quote] Unfortunately trying is no longer applicable, ISIS called it a day in june. I'd have given a kidney to be at their final show. They did support tool on one tour as I recall.

One of the first things we were taught in our uni physics lab was lasers will kill you if you so much as blink at them cockeyed. They're not actually that dangerous, as long as you don't look directly into the beam, or put an appendage in the beam (depending on power and energy output). You SHOULD be fine with scanning lasers, i've seen them in plenty of clubs and such mounted on the celing point at the dance floor, i wouldn't put it at eye level though. What colour is it?

Currently on DR DDT's as I'm a drop C whore. But I had hi-beams before, which i'll go back to if I go back to standard

Amplifier - The consultancy Can't wait for the new album(s)

Had a bit of an oceansize listening fest and finally got unfamiliar and sleeping dogs down pat. Both absolutely awesome basslines, and a masterclass in playing in odd time sigs but still keeping it groovy (which the whole band is a masterclass in to be honest): Since I assume 95% of you will have had no idea what songs or band I was referring too. Both displaying the heavier side of the band, but heavy as it should be done, interesting and complex as hell. I urge you all to listen, there's a lot worse things you could do with 14 minutes.

Used them for a while, decent strings for the price, wear out a bit quickly for my liking, and the sound quite dull once they do wear out, but decent enough.

Just wanted to give an uncharacteristic plug. It was new string time and i've been playing in Drop C quite a lot lately so I was gonna get some heavy gauge high-beams, but came across these instead, so I bought a pack of these in my regular gauge (0.045-0.105). They claim they're specially engineered or some such to provide better intonation and tension when detuning. I was a tad skeptical, but I'm glad I bought them. The intonation difference is noticeable, quick fret changes on the low C and G are a lot less muddy, but the main selling point for me is the feel, they somehow maintain pretty much the same tension in any tuning, I used to hate the slackness of playing in Drop C, and I used to get a lot of fret buzz, no more. They also stay in tuning magnificently, with my old strings I'd have to retune the low C every 5 minutes for a while until it kept it's tuning, not with these, tuned up once after I restrung and haven't had to do it since. If you drop tune, you need these strings. That is all.

Morely do one, barge concepts do a blender with an expression pedal input, but you'd have to get one second hand and it'd be pricey.
